FORMER Zimbabwean cricketer Henry Olonga has tied the knot in Australia,
marrying Tara Read in a church ceremony in Adelaide over the weekend.

Olonga met the 34-year-old
physical education teacher while both were attending the Australian
Institute of Sport's cricket program in Adelaide.

The 27-year-old exiled cricketer,
who has not returned to Zimbabwe since his public protest against President
Robert Mugabe's regime during last year's World Cup, had little to say
about the current crisis that the country found itself in.

Zimbabwe cricket is on the
downward track with up to 15 of the country's most experienced players
protesting the dismissal of Heath Streak as skipper.

Naturally, Olonga chose to
focus on the positive things in his life, saying his marriage was the
light at the end of the tunnel.

"It has been a big year
with lots of adjustments and changes but it has also been a great adventure,"
Olonga told Adelaide's Sunday Mail newspaper.
